Overly Positive

So, as some of you know, I will be participating in a 24-hour gaming marathon to raise money for children’s cancer research.

As of this writing, I have no sponsors, but regardless of whether or not I get sponsors, I will be participating in this effort, as it is a worthwhile one. I would hope if you’re a blogger and reading this, that you will re-post this in an effort to help me out.

As an update, I will be playing Warhammer Online. I’ll be playing for 24 hours from 9:00am CST on Saturday, October 18th, to 9:00am on Sunday, October 19th. I will be playing on the Gorfang server, on Destruction, under the name “Liferxtra”. As of this writing, I’ll be playing a Disciple of Khaine (what better class to play than a healer class of course) and I’ll be playing from level 1. Feel free to message me if you are on Destruction and want to help!

I’ll be blogging here at OP throughout the day about my experiences for this very worthy cause.

Here’s the information if you want to contribute!

The Event, or “Why we are crazy enough to play WAR for 24 hours”

Advertising and characterization aside, Overly Positve is participating in the Extra Life charity event on October 18th, organized in part by gaming site Sarcastic Gamer:

The event is a 24-hour gaming marathon, where the participants get sponsors and play the game of their choice. Overly Positive plans to play – what else - Warhammer Online - for 24 hours straight, with real-time updates on the OP blog on just how far we can get in 24 hours of WAR goodness, all for a good cause.

Overly Positive is looking for donations in the form of monetary sponsorship. All of the proceeds and donations will go to funding Pediatric Children’s Cancer Research for Texas Children’s Hospital. Sponsorship is at $1/hour, so to sponsor Overly Positive, $24 would ideally be donated. However, any amount of money you can donate, bigger or smaller than that number, is greatly appreciated. Our goal is modest, but we obviously are fine with exceeding that number.

I’m asking the community, if they think this is a worthy cause, to take this post and put it in their blogs, their sites, facebook, myspace, whereever! We’re raising money towards saving children, so I would hope that the community picks this up and runs with it.
